The key difference between ego and pride is that ego is a sense of self-importance which can lead to arrogance whereas pride is a sense of satisfaction. The words ego and pride are so close in meaning and so interrelated that sometimes it becomes difficult to differentiate between them.
The job well done, the promise kept, and the sacrifice atoned. To have tried to do the right thing and even if you lose you're no loser. Proud humility will be that something you and other people remember you by... in an honourable way.
Ego is results driven. Its not about the effort or the integrity the way you do things. Diego Maradona. A devilish view of one's own hand being the hand of God.

Hence my post ,which was a thought from my mind not a copy and paste.
tomcatty: Thought from your own head, forget all the philosophers who thought of it first, there is not much on CS that is original, certainly nothing of yours
I don't check on any statements before I post just say it as I see it. Sorry if this offends your ego.
Ego and pride are both very much from the mind. Pride can come from a self assured and confident mind, or from a weak and grasping mind. The latter will always be fundamentally ego driven. Either way, ego plays its part in varying degrees, especially when pride is really just a way of boosting the damaged ego that's fueling it.

I don't necessarily agree with that theory Bod.
I tend to think that egoists usually think they are something special, whereas someone with pride is usually taking that line because they might be proud of an achievement or goal that they have set themselves, and I like to think that their pride comes from a good heart, rather than an inflated ego.
tomcatty: I don't think so, have you not heard of research, or do you make it all up
Give it a rest ,your ego is about to trip you up old man.
I seem to recall you saying that Jersey had it's own electricity company so couldn't get cut off on one of your threads . Did you research that little gem.

where do Jersey and Guernsey get their electricity from?
Though historically associated with Great Britain, Jersey and Guernsey are located far closer to the land border of France than England’s south coast.
Do Jersey and Guernsey have other supplies of power?
The threat from France has sparked a reaction from both islands’ local electricity providers - Jersey Electricity and Guernsey Electricity.
Both have said there are enough supplies for each of the islands’ electricity requirements.
Jersey Electricity said in a statement: “Following enquiries from our customers regarding the French fishing dispute, JE can reassure customers that in the unlikely event electricity supplies from France are disrupted, La Collette Power Station and Queens’ Road has capacity to supply Jersey’s electricity requirements.”
Guernsey Electricity CEO Alan Bates said: “Guernsey Electricity has a security of supply strategy where the role of the power station is to provide continuity of electricity supply in the event of any issue with the importation cable. We can reassure all consumers of the resilience of the local generation capability and there is sufficient capacity to meet all the island’s electricity demand.” Why has France threatened to cut power supply to Jersey?
Despite the initial reassurance of power to its residents, the longer term issue still remains.
The depth of feeling among French fishermen was evident when dozens of boats gathered near Jersey’s main port to protest the new system, with some crews even setting off flares.
It comes after French maritime minister Annick Girardin warned the country is ready to take “retaliatory measures” and accused Jersey of dragging its feet over issuing new licences.
She said it gave France the “means” to act against Jersey if the matter couldn’t be resolved, adding: “Even though I am sorry that it has come to this, we will do so if we have to.”
Ian Gorst, External Relations Minister for the Government of Jersey, said cutting off electricity would “seem disproportionate... for the sake of needing to provide extra details so that we can refine the licences.”
A UK government spokesperson said ministers were working with France and Jersey to help resolve the issue.
“To threaten Jersey like this is clearly unacceptable and disproportionate,” the spokesman told the BBC. Is Jersey part of the UK?
Jersey is an island located in the English Channel just north of the French coastline.
Both Jersey and Guernsey, and the Isle of Man, are not part of the UK
